Two large dairy co-operatives, Campina and Friesland Foods, have announced their intention to merge. On 10 April 2008 they made clear that the merger, which will create one of the largest dairy producers in Europe, will result in a job loss of 500 jobs, mainly in the head offices. The merger still has to be approved by the European Commission.
